The article is devoted to the characteristics of trends in the accumulation of human capital in Ukraine over the period of independence. The purpose of the article is to study the key factors that caused the existing trends in the accumulation of human capital during the period of independence of Ukraine. The novelty of the study lies in the application of a systematic approach to establishing the influence of the main factors on the accumulation of human capital in the country over the past twenty years.The expediency of the study of factors that directly affect the course of the processes of accumulating human capital at regional and national levels has been substantiated. The relationship between the quality of life of the population, the socio-economic development of the country and the volume of human capital has been established.The conditions (the number and structure of the current population; the number of live births and deaths per year and per 1000 people of the population; natural population decline, the number of marriages registered per year; total annual fertility rate, average life expectancy at birth), typical for Ukraine at the time of its independence in 1991, in the dynamics of demographic and socio-economic processes in Ukraine during the period of its independence have been analyzed.The tendencies that have been achieved by Ukraine in the nineteen years of independence in the field of socio-economic development, such as: the annual decline in the population and the total fertility rate; an increase in the mortality rate of the population; drop in GDP per capita and human development index are established. The key aspects of stabilizing the situation in the field of human capital accumulation in Ukraine, which should be based on the intensive development of the business environment, improving the quality of education, and comprehensive social protection of the population, have been substantiated.

The Russian energy industry is on the verge of major changes. The potential of existing technologies has been exhausted, and to ensure economic growth, the development and implementation of new approaches in the field of electricity generation is necessary. The human capital of enterprises is the most important driver of changes in the energy sector. The purpose of the article is to analyze the influence of factors characterizing human capital on the effectiveness of Russian power generating corporations. The study found that the efficiency of power generating corporations is most strongly influenced by the share of managers in the structure of employment and labor productivity. Such indicators as the share of specialists with higher education and staff turnover did not significantly affect the efficiency of power generating corporations.

Labor productivity has an essential role in creating a more sustainable labor market platform, leading to better economic sustainability. However, the sluggish growth in labor productivity in Malaysia could hinder the vision in realizing the status of a high-income nation in the future. Thus, understanding how production shocks affect labor productivity sustainability is crucial for firms in managing their inputs (resources). This paper aims to elucidate how shocks in wage, capital intensity, and human capital may affect the dynamic of labor productivity in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. The study further explains the magnitude of this impact on labor productivity. This study employs the panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model in analyzing the propagation of the shocks through the impulse response function and variance decomposition. The main findings reveal that shocks in production factors have a positive and significant transitional impact on productivity and the cumulative effects are positive over time. The economic impact of wage shock is material, whereas capital intensity shock is moderate and only exerts a minor effect on labor productivity emanating from human capital shock. These findings provide further insights into assisting policymakers in amplifying the current labor market policy for sustainable economic growth.

Abstract This paper documents occupational inheritance – that is, children’s inheritance of their parents’ occupations – in China, India, and other countries. Among the causes of the prevalence of occupational inheritance, we target two broad categories that impede growth: labor market frictions and barriers to human capital acquisition. Counterfactual experiments based on a tractable occupational choice model suggest that if the impediments mentioned above were reduced to the US levels, labor productivity would grow by 60–75% in China and 107–178% in India. China realized 74–89% of this growth potential from the 1980s to 2009. In addition, this productivity gain is accompanied by a decrease in the correlation of intergenerational incomes.

The article presents the author’s calculations of the labor sphere state of rural areas of the Ural Federal District (Russia). It is substantiated that labor (human) capital is the most important element of ensuring the functioning of the entire agrarian sphere. The estimation of labor productivity in the agricultural sector, the rate of wage growth, as well as relative social and labor indicators of the agricultural direction to the general economic is conducted. The authors consider the ratio of agrolabor productivity growth and decrease in the number of workers in this sphere, which is associated with a number of factors, resulting in the construction of a system of sociolabor factors interaction contributing to the development of rural areas, based on analytical data

A technique based on Russia regions’ economic development analysis (on the example of human capital and labor productivity in the North Caucasian Federal District of Russia) by means of creation of econometric models related to labor productivity in regions of the North Caucasian Federal District of Russia has been realized. It has been shown that such a factor as an employed population’s education level is the important one in determining the labor productivity in the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District of Russia.

The article reveals the issues of interdependence of the development of human capital in public administration on the level of its provision by the state in the context of COVID-19. In a democratic, civil, postmodern society, one of the main tasks is the development of systems for managing the efficiency of human capital in the context of public administration, as a means of obtaining higher levels of labor productivity. Today we have to state that the achievement of this efficiency in the use of human resources can be better achieved by orienting the performance management system to promote the attraction of new human potential in public administration at all levels. In this context, a new approach to the human capital management process is being actualized, which includes employee engagement and key factors of employee engagement at every stage. We are talking about a management model that includes the main ideas and offers a new perspective on how to develop and manage the involvement of human resources to achieve high levels of labor productivity in public administration in the context of COVID-19. The purpose of the article is to study the essence, characteristics and role of human capital in the context of public administration in the context of the existence of the epidemic danger of COVID-19

Current technological development amid the fourth industrial revolution inevitably changes the nature and conditions of work. The quality of human capital constitutes a significant contribution not only to labor productivity growth, but also contributes to the growth of social connections, loyalty and trust by employees. It increases the market share and the competitiveness of products. Consequently, the problem associated with improving the quality of human capital as the most important productive resource of a company is relevant, timely, socially and economically significant. The aim of the study is to develop a technology for human capital management based on a new methodology for assessing human capital and a scheme for the formation of individual trajectories of professional development, ensuring an increase in the quality of human capital and an increase in the company's efficiency. The proposed method for assessing human capital is designed to identify the digital twin of an employee and takes into account such traditional characteristics as age, education, professional experience and competencies, as well as additional characteristics - social status, health quality, inter-professional competencies, motivation and involvement, and provides a comprehensive assessment of human capital in enterprises in the course of digital transformation. Based on the results of the assessment of human capital, management decisions are developed for the individual trajectories of professional development design, aimed at increasing labor productivity and contributing to the companies’ operational efficiency growth. Experimental studies have been carried out on the use of the proposed technology for human capital management based on the data of a large oil-producing enterprise in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is shown that the introduction of individual trajectories of professional development makes it possible to increase labor productivity by 6–7 % in the next 2–3 years, the company's revenue by 5–7 % and profit by 2 %. The theoretical significance of the results is concerned with the identified features of the human capital of a company associated with the health quality, the development of interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and abilities, motivation and involvement which should be taken into account during the process of assessment. The developed technology provides support for making managerial decisions for working out individual trajectories of employees’ development. The practical outcome of the study is the methods for human capital assessment and its development, which ensure the labor productivity growth, companies’ revenue and profit increase with minimal cost.
